1. Combine cabbage, carrots and scallions in a mixing bowl.
2. Stir together yogurt and chili sauce in a smaller bowl.
3. Pour sauce onto vegetables, sprinkle with salt (I just used a pinch) and toss to combine.
4. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to marry.

Ok, so I realize that’s not much of a recipe, but I felt that the flavor combinations were worthy of a mention. The chili sauce gives this a nice heat without being overwhelming, and the yogurt was tangy enough for the vinegar-based salad lovers and creamy enough for the mayo lovers, so either I’m making everyone happy here or no one.

I’ll take my chances.

I topped the slaw with a jalapeno chicken sausage from Trader Joe’s, which I sliced and baked at about 425° for 10 minutes or so.

And because that only came to about 160 calories, I added a tortilla stuffed with some sauteed fajita-style vegetables.

More vegetables, FTW!

The dinner came to about 400 calories, give or take. I’ll allow it.

I think this mayo lover is going to be ok.

I too have a problem with eating ALL THE FOOD, so my current plan is to get rid of ALL THE shitty FOOD that’s currently in my house. Of course the only solution is to eat it til it’s gone, but once it is… Man, it is so on.

I’ve been on a crazy coleslaw kick lately. Its amazing. I usually make an apple cider vinegar dressing because I don’t usually have mayo in the house. I don’t know why I never thought of yogurt. I blame the lack of alcohol in my system – I can’t think straight.

I love mayo. And I love ALL THE FOOD. And I love to eat all the food until it’s gone. Portion control is practically a foreign language to me.
i don’t hate you for the sea urchin disdain, it was a pretty pungent flavor that I wouldn’t seek out again.
Oh, and I LOVE SLAW!
I feel like you really get me.

Love this coleslaw and I’ve been trying to find new ways to cut back too. Greek yogurt is my new best friend. It fills in for Sour cream very easily and i can see how it makes this slaw just the right bit creamy.
